This is a very elegant Baby Bonnet.
It's from the pattern "Christening Bonnet Collection".
It is made by stitching Lace Insertion and Silk Ribbon together to create a "fabric" from which to cut the bonnet.
I made a pretty Rosette for each side.
Do you see the tiny Shank Mother of Pearl button in the center of the Rosette.
I love to do that!
The back is made the same way.
If you look close you can see that I did not zig zag the ribbon and lace together. I put the ribbon just on top of the lace and used a straight stitch.
The lace frill frames baby's face so nicely.
I don't have a real baby handy so I have to pretend.
I call it playing with dolls. But this little dolly is the size of a Newborn which makes her perfect for me.

Beautiful! I love the little "baby's" dress... is that dotted swiss smocked?
ReplyDeleteLovely! And I have that pattern! Love the dress, too.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is Baby's Smocked Layette (from my pattern line) and the dotted swiss is smocked. Thankyou.
